Energy chief joins NG Bailey

Peter Emery, the man who helps keep Britain’s lights on, is joining one of Yorkshire’s largest family-owned businesses to help with its charge into the energy sector.

Ilkley-based NG Bailey has appointed Mr Emery, the production director at Drax, as a non-executive member of the board. Drax is the largest coal-fired power station in the UK and generates around seven per cent of the nation’s energy needs.
